I've stated before, my wife is an apartment manager. About half of her tenants pay rent. The other have get government assistance. It would blow your mind to see these people with "no income" somehow having the best clothes, shoes, and hairstyles. Most of them even have cable TV and other luxuries.

"Because we're not rich, we don't deserve nice things?"
I want to reply, "Fuck no! If you can afford this stuff, you can afford to pay rent!" But, I digress. People need to get it in their mind that instant gratification fades quickly. I make a great living and yes, I splurge a bit, but I make sure the important stuff is taken care of first.

Yep... but for a lot of human beings, satisfying 2 or 3 steps of maslow is plenty and they don't care if they do this without using their own money...

So if they can have luxury for while they are young using government money they are happy and we have the moronic people asking for more goverment aid.

Mr Gurner began his career as a property investor after purchasing a gym in Melbourne’s south in 2001 with the help of $34,000 borrowed from his grandfather.

This is the same guy who started with a $34K interest-free loan in a 2001 Melbourne housing market. I assume he was also living with family rent and utility-free. Given the same circumstances, there’s not a person I know that couldn’t get into the housing market. He’s so out of touch with reality that his comments are a sick joke. 

 

Wow, fuck that guy really. I'm baffled that there are people here that agree with what he's saying.

Yep, it is very bad to see people using reason and logic.
